Temple of flora, or, Garden of nature, being picturesque, botanical, coloured plates of select plants, illustrative of the same, with descriptions
Temple of Flora was first published as the concluding part (pt. 3) of Thornton's larger work: New illustration of the sexual system of Carolus von Linnaeus (1807) The Temple of flora was issued with a separate engraved titlepage contained on 2 leaves, bearing the date 1799; the text consisted of descriptions of the plants, poetry and miscellaneous material. Plates are primarily aquatints and mezzotints executed by a variety pf artists and engravers; signed by artists: Russel [Russell], Opie, Reinagle, Perther, S. Edwards, Thornton and Henderson; and engravers: Caldwall, Burke, Ward, Elmes, Warner, Earlom, Lewis and Hopwood, Sutherland, Medland, Dunkarton, Stadler and Landseers. "Originally published in parts between 1799 and 1807; published in book form with additional material and plates in 1807"--ESTC. The work was first advertised in 1797, and seems to have been issued in parts at twenty-five shillings each between 1799 and 1807; no two copies are exactly alike as Thornton made up copies using different combinations of plates. Most plates with date and publishing information printed at bottom, others have date added in pencil; many plates are in 2nd (or later state) according to Grigson in Thornton's Temple of flora (1972) Plates are arranged in the order in which they appear in the original contents sheet. Cf. Grigson, G. Thornton's Temple of flora, 1972.
